Sentara Martha Jefferson offers a variety of childbirth classes to get you and your partner ready for the birth of your new baby. Our team of childbirth educators and lactation consultants offer many years of experience in their field and are ready to help to empower and encourage you while you prepare for the birth of your child.

You may have many questions during your pregnancy about your pregnancy, childbirth and how to care for a new baby. Though there are many resources available on the internet, having an opportunity to learn and ask questions from experienced childbirth educators is invaluable.

If an in-person class is not feasible for you, we also offer childbirth education classes online for you to take when it is convenient for you.
